[Verse]
                                      Am
How much must you live before you understand the blues
                                      D
How much must you walk before they validate your shoes
                     E7      Eb7        D7                      Am
And how far must you go tell me I don’t know before you see the truth


How long can you stand while the pressure gets you down
How long can you be alone before you realize no one’s around
And how long can you smile while the world is tumbling down and ignore the sound


Dm7                         Am                   E7
How long can live with your hands over your eyes before you see that
          Am
nothing’s changed
Dm7                            Am                E7
And how long can you point the finger before you realize you’re the one to blame


How much can you give before you start to receive
How much can you lie before you can no longer deceive
How long will you try to live your life of lies before you empty your sleeves
